"Find Emperor Kyro!" 552Please respect copyright.PENANAbddrhVz6C8
552Please respect copyright.PENANALCt6o6ZGM2
A chill ran through their spines the moment they heard the Grand Marshall yell of help. It made them shudder as a freezing cold wind would wake someone, blood ran cold and a bead of sweat dripped down their faces, They bolted and scattered, not one guard would dare sit there helpless not acknowledging of what to do, they rushed excessively scared to even recall.552Please respect copyright.PENANAPHq2nUkEPx
552Please respect copyright.PENANAbRgpF4lICr
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"552Please respect copyright.PENANABa9azDXuBS
552Please respect copyright.PENANArwdjakKwJC
The shouting was fury within the air, a way to take the anger from the Grand Marshall and transfer the tension in all of the guards. He didn't just raise his voice, his muscles tensed and he got mightily in close for maximum impact. After that they would give in, discovering the left behinds of the fur that laid unknowingly near one of the passage ways.552Please respect copyright.PENANAMw850uANIN
552Please respect copyright.PENANAasSOnlrKme
Their greasy, graying skin split like tree bark. Wiry black hairs sprouted. Their once kindly colored eyes melted into a heavier, more ruddy color. Their bones maneuvered under his skin like mechanical snakes; audible cracks sliced through the guards. Each shifted into a scruffy hairy beast. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAUcMFbcYWk9
552Please respect copyright.PENANAXoOpIwbrPR
Their bodies managed to spike filled hairs, noses swiveled into snouts, mouths ajar and snarled with huge canines, their clothes ripped into several pieces thinned out with their tensed spines, Claws as long and enormous enough to shed some blood, their hands pivoted into roughed patches of lathered paws.552Please respect copyright.PENANAqUJhngsIMn
552Please respect copyright.PENANAiw3tE3wTJ7
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.552Please respect copyright.PENANAGXnmII1AEm
552Please respect copyright.PENANANSBkC2qQak
Ahead of them, posed a high mighty Alpha, thickened fur filled with inkiness, paws bigger than the rest of the wolves, hair raised within its back, and a piece of its ear sliced, the snout embezzled with scars. A day, had passed since the king hadn't returned since the storm had given a roaring violent weather. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAeCxyc8JeLr
552Please respect copyright.PENANA5wMKRkBART
Amid the starlight, the ever glow of the moon, that mother of the sky whom spectated over every beating heart, steady and true, They awaited their orders, hoping that as night had fallen, will their intentions run wild.
**
The egg yolk sun poured through the cracks in the blind and awaited entrance into my eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, I hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with a bit of success. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAUKtTRgYQBT
552Please respect copyright.PENANAqgPKihlsZP
Endeavor and Beau accompanied by the edges of the bed, as the maidens cleaned the dirt spots bequeathed onto the floor.
Upon waking, I burrowed myself into the warm, soft sheets. I rubbed the remainders of sleep from my eyes and gazed out at the horizon; its vivid light extended across a rosy sky. I supposed this was something the majority of people would consider beautiful, but I found it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in something so every-day. It's not like the sun wouldn't rise, it had, after all, been reliably happening since the beginning of time.
"Your majesty, the Emperor had told me, it is time for you to undergo some breakfast with the emperor once again."552Please respect copyright.PENANAmtTKzrxRu2
552Please respect copyright.PENANAlWKXBwdfxZ
Beau had mentioned before clutching the sheets within her hands and pulling it down leisurely, I rolled my head a bit to gaze up towards Beau and Endeavor. perking upright, my hair drooping onto my shoulders.
I face to the left where Beau had stood, but as I rub my eyes to take away the blurred vision of tiredness. I nodded, before inching myself to the edge of the bed, where the maidens had taken their time, getting me prepared for the breakfast.552Please respect copyright.PENANAPUoR549Nks
552Please respect copyright.PENANAghn3FlOER6
I stood tall whilst my back straightened, I wore the tightened creamy sheets of the silk dress that slipped onto my shoulders, peppering my body with soft, sensual kisses. Like a lover, it seduced the senses and conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing.552Please respect copyright.PENANAhnH8KBJ8S2
552Please respect copyright.PENANAab7mBtpgI5
my hair, irked back with a slim bun curled within its bottom, The maidens rendered their best to persuade on prepping me with makeup, but to my liking, I insisted I had stayed as a natural beauty.
"You look beautiful, your majesty"
uttered Endeavor, smiling, I could've said I envision myself as the same person, but it would lose some of my confidence.552Please respect copyright.PENANAeRAymPnBKi
552Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Lb7Je3BG
I gave a subtle sigh, where I had smiled, yet the smile is the prettiest thing I've done in a while, for it extends to my eyes and deep within my soul. 552Please respect copyright.PENANAQQOIeVqBaU
552Please respect copyright.PENANA5U1dxXLDCN
A knock came, and the door had suddenly swung open, there stood a man that I had either despised nor loved, The figure perked and revealed itself other than hiding behind the gigantic doors. 552Please respect copyright.PENANANbxlZpKCCg
552Please respect copyright.PENANA6IOeiT4wjs
"You look lovely as always, Empress."552Please respect copyright.PENANARLizFq4CJP
552Please respect copyright.PENANARSRmi5Mycw
His voice hushed against his throat, as if he was hiding his enduring compliments within his folds, I observed his boots tapping against the pavement of the floor, his grimaced face, even when he approaches me, I could feel the subtle hatred protruding out of him.
I gawked an eye to him, where he approached me close as ever, then as his figure had towered before me, another figure stood within its way, Lady Ophelia perched by the door way, her smile, the brightest whilst within the room.552Please respect copyright.PENANAAGPpsMmsVn
552Please respect copyright.PENANALw44OIQw0i
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."552Please respect copyright.PENANAqtka0UxrjM
552Please respect copyright.PENANAP0aHH15l7h
I muttered, I glared upwards towards his icy blue eyes, then towards Lady Ophelia's life like amethyst eyes. I could see, their smug expressions hidden away from a mask.
He contorted his lips into an faked, toothy smile, but his cheeks were not so compromising. He could feel their reluctance to be moulded falsely. When I finally averted my gazed his smile fell lifeless, allowing his face to return to its usual cold hard gawk.
"You finally took into consideration of my taste."552Please respect copyright.PENANARs4JAfb9t3
552Please respect copyright.PENANAgMUFm9ofx4
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."552Please respect copyright.PENANAkMVLeJdn5W
552Please respect copyright.PENANAVdyi5rsrzD
I bluntly said to him, before his same old faked toothy smile, gleamed from around his face, he pulled out a box from the pockets of his tunic, hiding inside of it, an emerald-like jewel, sacredly resting onto a soft covered cushion.552Please respect copyright.PENANAQPfkUCgNwd
552Please respect copyright.PENANAJZjztBxcK9
"How considerate of you."552Please respect copyright.PENANAwFJCEzdHkO
552Please respect copyright.PENANALx3q4mRl1w
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."552Please respect copyright.PENANAjs8CBI0eXG
552Please respect copyright.PENANADtG2OcmOVA
He stated, continuing to flash his unruly smile.
I peeked from over his shoulder to figure Lady Ophelia, with the same gleaming facial expression she had whilst entering the room, She proceeded perched at the door, her intentions to discover me take the necklace.552Please respect copyright.PENANAOjGHRhOzsF
552Please respect copyright.PENANALTv0zyGSnz
"I see, I'll take it."552Please respect copyright.PENANAlLcudPOhlI
552Please respect copyright.PENANAFN0nzNkGya
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.552Please respect copyright.PENANAk81hKuBSNB
552Please respect copyright.PENANA2TVs5GWtjD
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."552Please respect copyright.PENANAMYMxxFOo9I
552Please respect copyright.PENANAFTPhbvTU85
As i approach the small cushioned box, I focus onto the Emperor before he had left with Lady Ophelia, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.552Please respect copyright.PENANAimJIYvpqtb
552Please respect copyright.PENANAIckBYR0rQc
Had I listened to it correctly? Why had he suddenly uttered my name? He had never done that before, yet to address me as Hera, we hadn't addressed each other of our first names since we were young ins.

The moment I slide into my chair I'm served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sits in ice to keep it chilled. The basket of rolls they set before me would keep me filled. Then, There's an elegant glass of orange juice.
"You're wearing the necklace."552Please respect copyright.PENANAdHFwqgqbON
"I am, since it would be quite of a waste to not use it as a gift from Lady Ophelia, and the Emperor to the Empress."552Please respect copyright.PENANAzXJ6oqorob
"I see."552Please respect copyright.PENANAmAng9tTFLT
I gingerly cut a fried potatoes and placed the oily chunk in my mouth, with each nibble I took, His eyes traced around my hands.
Yet, from the back of my mind, I couldn't erase the worried expression, The weariness I received every time I think of that wolf, and from the bearing manner from the Emperor, gave a sudden mein of curiosity.552Please respect copyright.PENANAQVx5Ss0Lev
552Please respect copyright.PENANAlgnFd0Vi9i
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."552Please respect copyright.PENANAcsysFf3Rcq
552Please respect copyright.PENANAZY0dcgYCrs
He gently stabs his fork within the scrambled eggs that were left onto his platter, Then he munched it up with his mouth opening every time he chewed, treating me to a view of the partially masticated eggs. Then he gulped it down and without pausing to breathe he took another swinging bite at the scrambled eggs.552Please respect copyright.PENANA55H7UL1952
552Please respect copyright.PENANAm1SukvajPV
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.552Please respect copyright.PENANANMjE4NsDni
552Please respect copyright.PENANAfhT9t270iY
"Ah, Yes."
I stated, before hovering a napkin to my lips, wiping it down.
Each bite I had gulped down within my throat, reminds me of the gashed wound from the wolf, and from those thoughts, I proceeded reflecting within the back of my mind if that wild dog still living, or if they had detected the wolf within the brush I hid him away from.552Please respect copyright.PENANAk7rg2HVHiX
552Please respect copyright.PENANAGWcLgh1F2u
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.552Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Nezlxh9r
552Please respect copyright.PENANAJmXVf5qjRA
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 552Please respect copyright.PENANAT4qRb3PTPc
552Please respect copyright.PENANAoThN5hOxvv
The Emperor leered up at me from his plate, wholly abolished of almost endearingly terminated food. I peered up at him, where my eyes encountered his, in his eyes I could catch he was concerned, for my well-being.552Please respect copyright.PENANADjeOyeOBV0
A lump caught within my throat, where I couldn't inhale the sweet sensational aroma of the food, without the aroma of blood stained within my senses. The lies over my lips, molded a fake smile, hoping that his mien of oddity was convincing him, I emerge as perfectly fine. I smiled, something within him felt wrong, a little crook over my mouth, driving from deep inside your soul, as a secret never to be spouted.552Please respect copyright.PENANAFmoUVuBXrZ
552Please respect copyright.PENANAANHO1h8NSk
"I began feeling bloated, I'll be excusing myself."
Within the half-light of the morning, striding away from the dinette, to where I looked like a shadow, hunched over, turning into a small dot then disappearing within the Emperor's sight, but this time It was my excuse to vamoose, and where the Emperor planted himself onto his cushioned chair, he viewed me depart from him, without uttering a word.552Please respect copyright.PENANAAsBxLOm1Gb
552Please respect copyright.PENANAIkiZ1d9tZc
"Would you like more, your majesty?"552Please respect copyright.PENANAYOXnP3XyRh
questioned one of the butlers, the Emperor held his hand up, ceasing the butler from adding anymore to his platter, he shook his head before erecting himself from his cushioned seat, where he stood upend like a somewhat fool.552Please respect copyright.PENANAeG9BUSrsmB
552Please respect copyright.PENANAbOnJE3Q34o
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."552Please respect copyright.PENANAnAPekM5d4O
**552Please respect copyright.PENANA3fHLXUYhWm
I had yet to make it to the end of the hallways, where I had met the endearingly Endeavor and Beau, situating themselves side by side forging a pathway, their smiles stretched from ear to ear.552Please respect copyright.PENANAQA2kDYez4z
552Please respect copyright.PENANA49txDe3tdV
"Welcome back your highness."552Please respect copyright.PENANA1vUvc85pVI
552Please respect copyright.PENANAfEgvZwqtDB
Endeavor uttered, as her and Beau's faithful bow had straightened their back, perching into a 90 degree angle, I returned the subtle bow before plopping onto one of the cushioned sofa, that nestled against the embroiled doubled doors near the roman bath.552Please respect copyright.PENANArJhCpVkvQf
552Please respect copyright.PENANAJExIzD0gmq
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"552Please respect copyright.PENANAXTC4QWz1hg
"Quiet, it was better than I had presumed."
I press my hands against the scalp of my hair, massaging it, as a figure approached me, with a sack of small little desserts that sweetened the aroma around my senses, the sweetened smell coated the stinging wound's aroma.552Please respect copyright.PENANAIGPKOBUlZo
552Please respect copyright.PENANAKFgcKnSfzc
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."552Please respect copyright.PENANAZbTtjUQe0c
552Please respect copyright.PENANAZRE38057Md
She clasps the petite sack of cookies into my hand, as I untie the bow on top of the sack, out came bursting the most freshest scent that filled the whole bedroom, I picked one out, and bit into it, gulping it down as I felt the warmth of chocolate nestle onto the tip of my tongue. 552Please respect copyright.PENANArHXCDI4FAt
552Please respect copyright.PENANARaWyLt5MSY
"These are ravishly delicious."552Please respect copyright.PENANANu87h7NHmi
552Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6O8heCVPA
I declared, and then a simple idea had traveled within my mind, Whilst gawking an eye out the window, hoping within the brush the wolf had still been there resting, I should feed it with these freshened baked cookies, I stuff the sack of cookies within my gown.552Please respect copyright.PENANAwxibfCiUiF
552Please respect copyright.PENANAdVO36NfHqt
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"552Please respect copyright.PENANAYcCjdYbUXr
She heeded, viewing outside the window, compressing both of her hands together gently, then facing towards me, where she inadvertently shrugged with a smile etching within her lips, and from my perspective, I could envision it genuine.552Please respect copyright.PENANAi24q5nkYSI
552Please respect copyright.PENANAJWNACMu7I9
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"552Please respect copyright.PENANAovHfaGOgJu
